【双语有声阅读】生命的追求 Much to Live For

There is so much I have not been, so much I have not seen.

 

生命中，有那么多我未曾经历过，有那么多我未曾见识过。

I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the seasonal¹ delight of flocks² of ducks and geese in flight, the mysteries of late-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within myself—as peace of mind, patience, grace and being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam³, the field s,the hills, the hope, the dream the truth that one must seek.

 

有很多事情，我未曾想够、做够或体会够——朝阳、雨水、由成群飞翔的鸭鹅带来的季节性喜悦以及那些午夜的神秘。我还需要时间读书、写诗、作画、观赏景色以及我所爱的脸庞。还有更多具有价值的东西——那些我应该在自己内心发现的东西——心灵的宁静、耐心、优雅与仁慈。我要获取，我也要施予，然而还有许多值得为之而活——彩虹、闪烁的星星、田野、山丘、希望、梦想以及人必须追求的真理。

I’ll stay here—treasure every day and love the world in my own way!

 

我会在此——珍惜每一个时日并且用自己的方式惜爱这个世界！
